This collection of sharply worded collection of articles by M R Venkatesh, one of the highly intelligent and bright financial experts of current generation of professionals is a valuable and timely contribution to our national debate on current affairs and governance. Each of the articles contains a wealth of data and sharp analysis. Venkatesh is an excellent wordsmith and is a superb coiner of the sound bites. As he claims, he is reactive, not reactionary. Unfortunately, his effort at the moment may appear to be a waste of talent. He is trying to wake the rulers who are pretending to be sleeping, but not actually asleep.
